On a typical "American" article, the political class is considered a parasite on holy private initiative.
The definition of a parasite is "an organism that spends a significant portion of its life in or on the living tissue of a host organism and which causes harm to the host without immediately killing it." Parisitology is the study of parasites.
The definition of a parasite sounds like a perfect description of what government has become. The political class, its cronies and its dependents are parasites. The host is the productive sector of the economy. One lives at the expense of the other. One is "taking," the other "making."
Private is good, state is bad (a firmly held dogm and a basic rule in the American psyche). More on : http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/08/political_parisitology.html, if you can stand to read that kind of crap.
Replace "political class" by "financiers and speculators". Could there be a clearer definition of the role of the financial sector ?
The financial sector used to be an indispensible part of the economic set-up. It has become a malignant and uncontrollable cancer.
